'No future in cocoa' - small farmers in Ghana decry low prices amid spat with chocolate giants

Description

Small cocoa farmers in Ghana, who still harvest and work the bean by hand, say there is no future for cocoa farming in the country "because of the price" -- which they believe is set too low for them to actually make a living.

  • Existing Home Sales Drop Amid Rising Prices, Low Supply

    Ending a six-month run of spiraling demand, sales of existing homes in the US contracted in November. It's being read as a signal that rising prices and historically low supply is finally slowing the housing market's rally. According to Business Insider, the National Association of Realtors says home sales fell 2.5% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.69 million. The median price for existing homes fell to a six-month low as well, dipping month-over-month to $310,800 from $313,100. Even so, the pace is still up 25.8% from the year-ago period.

  • Hershey Catapults Cocoa Market To Record High By Cutting Out Middleman

    The cocoa market hit record highs in mid-November, and it's all down to one company's novel method of sourcing cocoa beans. Markets Insider reports the chocolate manufacturer bought cocoa beans through the ICE Futures exchange instead of from physical suppliers. The trade allows Hershey to obtain cocoa at lower prices, as chocolate producers typically buy from vendors who charge various premiums. The trade was so big it lifted December-delivery contracts as much as 13.4% from November 13 to November 16. A Hershey spokesperson says the company continues its 'substantial cocoa sustainability works' to combat poverty and deforestation. The spokesperson added Hershey continues to pay the Living Income Differential and invest in training for farmers to diversify their crops.
